Elias Matt returns with Videointerview at youtube

Posted in Scene news on February 4, 2014 by promofabrik

The media sees an intellectual kindship to artists like David Bowie, Blixa Bargeld and Phillip Boa. Like Boa, Elias Matt is both egomanic and introverted and doesn’t care about his public image. While other artists make a promotion tour when their album is released, Matt just went away – and even his bandmembers didn’t know where.

Since the release of CONDiTIO Humana, Matt was rarely seen. Interview requests weren’t answered, fixed appointments were bounced. Matt withdrew to his castle Goseck und read Prousts main opus “In Search of Lost Time”.

This is the reason why it took months for the only promo interview to be approved. It was recorded last October with Leo von Leibnitz. It’s a conversation about the human condition, a hole in the Berlin Wall and the connection between David Bowie and Tony Marshall. Questions were answered – but the mystery behind the artist and his music remains.

Ein rauschender Wind bewegt all diese verkommenen Larven,
welche die Nacht in schimmernden Bildern zusammenrafft.
Man spürt die Zermalmung von Schleusen, einen furchtbaren
vulkanischen Schock, in dem das Tageslicht sich zersetzt. Und
aus dem Zusammenprall, aus dem Zerreissen zweier Prinzipien
entstehen alle irgend möglichen Bilder im heftigen Ansturm einer
Woge. Antonin Artaud
 
Rein ins Zentrum der Explosion, zum Moment der allerhöchsten
Intensität. Dahin, wo plötzlich alles zerfällt, laut und wild und
furchtbar schön.

For more than 10 years now the team of POPoNAUT from Leipzig has delivered finest electronic music of the Dark Scene to the world. The story of success for Heiko Schröder and Sebastian Stolle began on June 1, 2004 in a living-room with mailouts of DE/VISION-tour tickets. Soon they moved to their first small office at the end of 2004. Meanwhile, the larger office that had been used as POPoNAUT headquarter since 2007, had to be enlarged again in 2012.

10 Years POPoNAUT – An anniversary that requires an appropriate celebration with friends, customers and partners. In order to provide a festive and solemn way, Heiko & Sebastian have invited their favorite bands to perform a unique live gig: synthpop-legends MESH from England and DE/VISION from Germany, supported by the Austrian sound-explorers called MIND.IN.A.BOX and the Swedish electro project CRYO will make it an unforgettable evening. Furthermore, there will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate and talk to the POPoNAUTs and artists after the live performances!

Noisuf-X – Dead End District – on Friday!

Posted in New releases, Scene news, Szene News with tags , , , , on September 13, 2011 by promofabrik

– english version below –

Noisuf-X – Dead End District – am Freitag!

Am 16ten September ist es soweit, mit „Dead End District” erscheint der nächste Streich aus dem Hause NOISUF-X.
NOISUF-X
beherrschen mit ihrem ausergewöhnlichen Sound seit Jahren die Tanzflächen der einschlägigen Musiktempel im In- und Ausland.

Titel wie – Tinnitus, Hit me Hard, 3000 Phon oder Deutschland braucht Bewegung – sind fester Bestandteil nahezu aller Club Djs.

Waren es auf „Excessive Exposure” Peter Spilles (Project Pitchfork) und Johan van Roy (Suicide Commando), die für eine Zusammenarbeit begeistert werden konnten, geht man diesmal ungewöhnliche Wege.
Mit Population konnte einer DER SKA Newcomer überhaupt aus England für eine Zusammenarbeit gewonnen werden. Future Ska ist anders, denn Future Ska ist Future Ska, eine erstmalige Symbiose aus Indsutrial und Ska und wird die Massen begeistern.

Dead End District” liefert wie gewohnt auf hohem Standard Clubfutter in Massen, scheut aber auch nicht vor Experimenten.

Dead End District” – der nächste grosse Wurf aus dem Hause NOISUF-X.

Dead End District” erscheint in einer Standard Version und einer limitierten Version mit einer 5 Track Bonus CD im künstlerisch hochwertig gestaltetem DVD Format Artwork – limitiert auf 888 Exemplare.

Noisuf-X – Dead End District – on Friday!

September 16 finally sees the release of an all new album by ‘Noisemeisters’ NOISUF-X!
This German project dominates for years the dancefloor of the industrial- and noise dancefloors around the planet and each and every of their albums and EPs has been a big success!

Tracks such as ‘Tinnitus’, ‘Hit me hard’, ‘3000 Phon’ or ‘Deutschland braucht Bewegung’ have become evergreens of the industrial culture and are part of almost all DJ sets of the noise/industrial club-scene!

While the previous album ‘Excessive Exposure’ featured guest appearances by ‘classic’ Electro-artists such as Peter Spilles (Project Pitchfork) or Johan van Roy (Suicide Commando), Noisuf-X this time take a quite unusual, surprising approach, by collaborating with one of THE biggest SKA-Newcomers around: ‘Population’ from England. The result is different to what you ever dated to hear: Call it ‘FUTURE SKA’! A unique symbiosis of Industrial and Ska that will move the masses!

Dead End District‘ delivers club-compatible material on the usual, highest Quality level, but isn’t afraid of experimentations that further develop the unique, and original sound of this outstanding Industrial/Electro project!

In short: album that sets new standards!

Autodafeh – new fulltime-album: Act Of Faith

Posted in New releases, Scene news, Szene News with tags , , , , on September 13, 2011 by promofabrik
– english version below –

Autodafeh – Neues Fulltime-Werk: Act Of Faith

Die neuen EBM-Meister AUTODAFEH kehren mit ihrem dritten Fulltime-Album “Act OF Faith” zurück. AUTODAFEH (aus Schweden stammend) sind dabei eindeutig von Bands wie Front 242 oder Nitzer Ebb beeinflußt, zeigen dennoch einmal mehr die weiter gereifte und einzigartige Identität der Band, während sie spielend den Spagat zu den Wurzeln des EBM schaffen – und treffend einstimmen: “We are not the past, we are the future!”

Das Album enthält zehn brandneue Songs plus zwei vollkommen neu überarbeitete Bonustracks.

Andreas Andersson masterte das Werk im weltberühmten Servant Studio. Andreas hat eine lange Referenzliste mit Masterings für Größen wie Portion Control, Covenant, VNV Nation und viele andere.

Seit der Veröffentlichung des DAC Charterfolgs “Identity Unknown” ist die Band auch vielbeschäftigt mit Liveauftritten auf Festivals und in Clubs, konnten sie doch gerade erst auf dem diesjährigen Blackfield Festival in Gelsenkirchen die Massen begeistern.

So muss EBM im Jahre 2011 klingen.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *  *

Autodafeh – new fulltime-album: Act Of Faith

AUTODAFEH is from the South of Sweden and makes hard pumping EBM/Electronic Music with glorious sing- along lyrics.
AUTODAFEH is clearly influenced by bands like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb, but their sound is unique and has got a special twist to it, and that makes

AUTODAFEH a very nice contribution to the world of EBM.

The New EBM Masters! AUTODAFEH returns with their third full length album, “Act of Faith”.
This twelve track album offers an even more mature and unique identity to the band, while still retaining the EBM roots but still screams out, “We are not the past, we are the future!”

Ten all original songs and two all new bonus versions of previously released songs that have been overhauled and upgraded for 2011!
The album was mastered by the expert ears of Andreas Andersson at Servant Studios. Andreas has long resume that includes mastering music for artists such as Portion Control, Covenant, Run Level Zero, VNV Nation and many more!

The band has found the last year (since the release of chart topping “Identity Unknown”) to be even busier than ever before! They are in high demand for live performances at festivals (and the smaller club performances alike), remixing for other artists, and providing engineering support for bands that have come to realize that AUTODAFEH is a force to be reckoned with!
